If offered a class date would it be wise to take that offer? Currently flying a Saab with word of upgrade in next couple of months...

How is the overall vibe in the company. I know contact talks are under way. What about upgrade time currently... Also between compass and Expressjet where is best position in your eyes, I.E. waiting for a class date with compass in half a year or a immediate position with Expressjet into the CRJ?
